Publisher Description: First-place winner of the Black Expressions Fiction contest, Like Sweet Buttermilk is an erotically-charged exploration of infidelity, murder, and therapy, in a love story revisited. Psychiatrist, Dr. Naomi Alexander, has a no-nonsense approach to everything--except her personal life. Still mourning her murdered husband, Naomi shares a shameful secret with her daughter. And for the first time in years, she has an intriguing case ... Rick Phillips is a successful man leading what seems to be a comfortable married-life with his wife, Viv, and their daughter. Family is everything. But Viv reveals she's seeing someone else--and Rick's determination to make things right again leads him down a disastrous path, changing him from a boring suburban husband into a spontaneous man with an intense, adventurous edge. An edge his wife is steadily warming up to ... Through marriage counseling with Dr. Alexander, with rounds of surprising disclosure for all in session, Rick and Viv begin to salvage their marriage and events lead to the couple finding renewed passion for each other. Everything is back on track and moving sexily along for the couple as they recapture much of what had been lost recently. Naomi, however, knows everything is not as lovely as it appears. Rick's irrational devotion to family and recent changes in personality have Naomi worried for Viv's safety. The no-nonsense psychiatrist becomes the reluctant semi-detective, realizing ... Viv may be in danger--from the one person she trusts most. Ideal for fans of suspense and books exploring the hidden dynamics of interpersonal relationships, Like Sweet Buttermilk, a story of betrayal, deception, and love, probes the emotional boundaries within what appears to be an ordinary marital situation.
